Keeping it simple I have enclosed a short description of each. For more information or to get your individual macro requirements contact me at 087-7112046. Jackie Macros, short for “macronutrients,” is the term used to describe the three major (or macro) nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Simple put, you get protein from meat, fish, poultry, eggs, beans & lentils along with a few other sources. Carbohydrates are pasta, potatoes, bread, rice, oats etc. Preferably wholegrain, unprocessed versions when available. Fats should come from natural sources like fish, oils, butter, nuts, seeds & avocado. (These lists are just examples & not complete) Micronutrients are your vitamins & minerals, some of which can be stored in your body, but others need to be eaten on a regular basis as they are know as water soluble. You need very small amounts of micronutrients hence the name micro. Fruit & vegetables are great sources of vitamins & minerals, aim for a rainbow of colours to gain different nutrients. Whereas macro nutrients you will need a lot more of. Macros are measured in grams, whereas micros are measured in milligrams. All are important & work best with each other to aid absorption. The food tracker app I make available to everyone allows me to set your macros & track both macros & micros to provide you with a clear picture of your health & to promote a healthy balanced diet. If you would like to find out more or make an appt contact me here or @ 087-7112046. Keeping it simple I have enclosed a short description of each.
